Yeah, this tripped me up too, and still does sometimes -- it's just not second nature yet...
In the Canvases/Layers Drawer, the layer you are currently editing has a
pencil icon, and any layers with selected objects show a
selection icon.
To move an object from one layer to another you're actually cutting and pasting it the same relative position on the new canvas:
- if you haven't already, create the layer that you want to move the object to;
- select the object you want to move - the layer this object is on, will now have the selection icon next to its title in the Drawer;
click on that icon, to make sure that the pencil icon is on the same layer (this indicates the layer you are editing);
- cut the object(s);
- click to the left of the target layer's title, to move the pencil icon to this layer (i.e. to edit this layer);
- paste the object and it will be in the same position as it was on the previous layer.
You do get used to it, but like I said, it's still not really second-nature for me.
